Morristown Elementary

Dear MES Families, This message is to inform you that the 24-25 school year will be my last at MES. Recently, I was offered and accepted a position with a different school district that is best for me and my family at this time. For the last 12 years, I had had the honor and privilege to work with some of the finest students, teachers, and parents that I have known. The memories I have created during this time will stay with me for the rest of my life. MES and Morristown have become my second home over the years and will forever hold a special place in my heart. Although leaving this place will be very difficult, it's also important to embrace new opportunities. Life is a series of changes and we must be willing to catch those opportunities that can allow for growth and development. Again, thank you for your love and support. I wish you all the best! Mr. Corn P.S. I do plan to share this information with the students before they leave school today.

If the weather is too chilly, we will have students walk in the gym. Students and staff are encouraged to show off their school spirit tomorrow with plenty of yellow and black and/or fun dress up themes for this event! Again, thank you to those who helped raise funds toward the PTA. Have a great day!

Good Afternoon! Several announcements and reminders on this Friday afternoon: 1. Next week is our annual SCUFFY (Shelby County United Fund for You) campaign. Grade levels will be competing to see which grade can bring in the most donations. The grade level with the most funds raised will earn a McDonald's lunch later this semester! 2. Thank you to those who participated in the PTA Walkathon Fundraiser. Next week (tentatively planning for Tuesday), students will participate in a walkathon during PE. We encourage students to have fun with this and dress in spirit wear and/or a fun group theme with friends (fun t-shirts, tutus, crazy socks, etc.) 3. Our top donation came from Aubrey Longwell who has earned the prize of Principal for the Day next Wednesday. Principal Longwell has designated Wednesday as PJ Day! 4. Lastly, our PTA is currently selling spirit wear.
